Planning Successful Waterfronts

Plans can be developed at a relatively modest cost.

In Spring Lake, New Jersey, a simple strip of grass and trees runs along a lakefront within a neighborhood of single family homes, thus providing important public parkland at a modest cost. The cost of developing a conceptual design for larger areas is moderate, considering the potential benefits. The cost of mapping would be limited to the fees of a planner and a surveyor who would lay out the paper streets and submit them for approval by the town's governing body. The expense of building the streets would be deferred until the area was ready for development and then, the developer would typically assume this responsibility as a condition for project approval.
